Comedian Nick Offerman, well-mustached star of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" (and professional woodworker), will kick off a semester of SPA events performing in Eisenhower Auditorium.
Before I visited Penn State, I had never heard of the Nittany Lions, Joe Paterno, Happy Valley, or State College. I was the quintessential out-of-stater.
